In my view bonsai gardening is the one hobby you can take
up and create something which can only be described as a
stunning art form, even if, like me, you were born with as
much natural flair for painting and drawing as Andre Agassi
has for understanding retirement speeches.
There is now doubt that a well kept Bonsai tree is a thing
of beauty; a miniature version of a full size tree that
replicates the full sized tree but is small enough to fit
in a pot on a table.
Genuine living art at its best.
So, how easy is it to grow one of these magnificent,
miniature plants? There is no doubt that it takes some
skill, patience and a little luck but it is not in fact as
difficult as it seems. Let's find out a little more about
the fascinating hobby of bonsai gardening.
There is not really a limit on what type of trees can be
grown as a bonsai although the most popular varieties these
days are pine, juniper and maple. The trees are trained
into the required shape by wiring, followed by judicious
and careful pruning. The idea is that the wiring and
pruning will produce a tree that looks like a tiny version
of what you would normally see in a park or garden.
Caring for bonsai trees is something which also requires a
little knowledge and experience; some trees are hardy and
can survive a winter outside whilst others will need a more
protected environment. Other important considerations in
bonsai gardening relate to the tools that you need to do
the work. It is very important that you have the right
equipment. Whilst a basic set of tools is not particularly
expensive the correct equipment is essential if you are to
make your new hobby a success.
With the right tools and a little training you can quickly
learn enough to start shaping your own bonsai trees. The
shape of the tree is crucial and there are a number of
different recognized styles that you can use for your
plant. It is always a source of great enjoyment when over
time you see your tree slowly but surely taking on the
shape you had envisaged for it. A true reward for your
developing bonsai gardening skills.
The presentation of a bonsai tree is absolutely vital and
to this end you do need to ensure that your tree is
displayed in the most suitable container. There are a huge
variety of containers available and you should always be
searching for something that will complement and enhance
your tree; something that will allow your living art to
shine.
The scope of this introduction article is obviously very
limited and you will need to look into bonsai gardening
more deeply to decide if it is really for you. However, I
do hope that I have managed to raise some enthusiasm in the
reader for at least taking the next step to finding out a
little more about Bonsai gardening.
